[Phono-L] Brunswick Panatrope Value? Rarity? Interest?

[jimcip at earthlink.net]

Is it actually a Panatrope or Brunswick acoustic phonograph incorporating a
battery powered Radiola?  
You said it had a horn speaker.    My early Panatrope has a dynamic cone
loudspeaker.    Does it have
an electronic pickup or just  an acoustic reproducer, tone arm & horn
through which the radio driver plays?  
Is it labelled "Panatrope?"
